Speaking of Nin Andrews, did you catch her poem posted on the Academy of American Poets website? "Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness" was the Poem-of-the-Day selection on August 13.

And, thanks to Susan Rich for her post on Underlife. We'll be reading together in November at Porter Square Books in Cambridge--very cool.

I'd like to add Adrie Kusserow to the list. She's a great poet trained as a cultural anthropologist and boy does that bring some amazing insight/original metaphors into her poems.
